That's why my first step was that Lori should consult her manager to
find out what her responsiblities were regarding these docs. It may
be that submitting her inputs was all she needed to do and she should
now wash her hands of the whole thing and get her next assignment.
Mebbe. But mebbe there's a mis-communication somewhere. I can't tell if
Lori had the mandate/orders to write documentation for the web site. I
don't know if the other woman is supposed to be a formal reviewer. I
don't know if they work for the same manager.
